Searching for that Wellspring of Nutrition and Knowledge?

Is it just me, or do fruits and vegetables seem even more delicious and “in season” during springtime? Perhaps it’s the return combination of warm days and cool evenings, inviting us back outdoors, that’s so positively conducive to enjoying fresh, healthful foods.

And yet, while the impact and sensations subside with the season’s passing, I can’t help but occasionally ponder: “Wouldn’t it be nice to enjoy homegrown, fresh veggies year round?” Candidly, once the answer involves the inconvenient vision of even minor hassles with a larger scale gardening project, the inspiration is fleeting . . . until the following spring.

Still, there are so many good reasons beyond the bounty to create a home garden. Knowledge of how food grows, lessons of science, nutrition and healthy eating habits, even gaining that sense of responsibility and accomplishment – these all constitute valuable information and important notions of self. In this spirit, a home garden presents unique opportunities and reflects, arguably, a categorical imperative of homeschooling.

So, where to begin? Even the experienced gardener can appreciate a turnkey solution for home gardening beginners. The DOLE Garden kit offers exactly that: an affordable, hands-on learning resource to facilitate the year round planning and execution of your home vegetable garden.
